[2.1] Clicking "Pin" twice on an entity does not unpin, but creates a second pin

Post by worph »

What did you do?
I pinned a space platform to my sidebar.
When I wanted to remove it again, and clicked the same button again.
What happened?
It created a second identical pin after it.
What I expected
I expected it to unpin the previous pin.
(On closer expection I also expected the "pin" icon to turn into an "unpin" icon.)
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
Happens all the time.



This is not super important, it might be intended, you can easily work around it by using the very obvious trash icon next to the pins.
But it still seems wrong.
I cannot think of a reason why it should function like this, nor why anybody would ever need a second pin for the same entity.

This is a feature request and as such does not go in bug reports.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

I accept that.
Let me just say:
If a GUI let's me set a flag, but there is no option to unset that flag within the same GUI window, I consider that to be a bug. (when it might as well use the same button to unset that flag)
But again, fair enough.
